[Verse 1]

G              Em                     C
Chasing down a ghost, up and down the coast
C/B           Am              D           G
In and out of hallways, it's always the same
   G/F#              Em                           C
We missed them by an inch, we're slightly off our mark
C/B            Am                    D
Stare into the void and listen for a voice

[Chorus]

C                           G           C              G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
       Em                   D                 C              Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
               C               G                  C              G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
         Em  G/F#       G            C      D                   G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close

[Verse 2]

G/F#          Em                     C
Hanging by a string, waiting in the wings
    C/B            Am     D           G
The show is nearly over, I'm still here
G/F#             Em                      C
Listening for my name, a call that never came
            C/B            Am                    D
Now they're pulling up the lights and pushing me aside

[Chorus]

C                           G           C              G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
       Em                   D                 C              Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
               C               G                  C              G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
         Em  G/F#       G            C      D                   G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close

[Bridge]

          Am
Or it'll get you in your sleep
          E                                   Am
And every secret that you keep locked in your mind
C/B        C           G
Could come alive, mmm

[Verse 3]

       G/F#           Em                         C
So I'm chasing down a ghost, but I never get too close
C/B           Am               D            G
In and out of hallways, we're always at odds
           G/F#               Em                              C
With how we missed them by an inch, and we're slightly off our mark
         C/B           Am                            D
Don't it seem a little strange how it never seems to change

[Chorus]
              C             G           C              G
'Cause all my life, I don't know honey how to let it go
       Em                   D                 C              Em
How to learn to stand with what I am and what I cannot control
               C               G                  C              G
'Cause you can tighten up your rope, but you'd be chasing down a ghost
         Em  G/F#       G            C      D                   G
And it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
        Em  G/F#       G            C      D                   G
No it's not enough to kill you, but it'll get you pretty close
